Please note the following instruc-

tions when using the appliance:

7This appliance is designed for

domestic use only.

7This appliance is designed for

the removal of human body hair.

Any other use is expressly pro-

hibited, particularly for the re-

moval of hair on the head.

7Do not immerse the appliance in

water.

7Only use the SW-030100 EUL

power supply unit provided.

7Do not drop the appliance.

7Disconnect the power supply

unit after use or charging.

7Never use the appliance if it or

the power supply unit show

signs of damage.

7Do not use the appliance if you

have varicose veins.

7Removing hair from the roots

can cause reddening or irrita-

tion of the skin. This is a normal

reaction and only lasts a short

time. If irritation persists longer

than three days, consult your

doctor.

7We recommend epilating in the

evenings. This gives any skin

irritations that might occur a

chance to wear oﬀ overnight.

7To avoid accidents, keep the ap-

pliance away from the hair on

your head, eyebrows and eye

lashes, and also from clothes,

brushes, wires, cords, laces, etc.

7Keep the appliance out of the

reach of children.

7If the power cord from the

charging unit is damaged, it

must be replaced by the manu-

facturer, its service centre or a

similarly qualiﬁed person to pre-

vent danger arising.
